Nowadays, we come across many websites where the pages are too slow. They take a while to load simple content like thumbnails, texts, and pictures. Most of the time, these pages are slow not because of your internet speed, but because of the technology the websites use for serving content

        Surprisingly, yes. I’m flabbergasted every time someone says, “I’m tired of these ads. I’m going to download an adblocker. Got any recommendations?”
